25.01.2022 Kudos Gallery is open again today! Join us in an hour, at 12pm today for our live stream exhibition tour! Or book a ticket and drop into the gallery IRL to visit us. Link in bio. @in space one we have Knowledge guidance passage by Oliver Pike @wiradjuriartist99.... Affinity with ones culture can reveal questions and enquiries that can sometimes not be answered. As a proud Wiradjuri, and Ngemba man from country NSW, I have found myself in a situation where all I can do is question my culture in order to understand where the true essence is placed, or displaced. Knowledge Guidance Passage is a series of works that provide a sense of ease to these questionings. Aunty Yvonne, proud La Perouse elder is someone who has guided me along a different path. The path of understanding ones journey in order to depict ones directions. #unsw #arcunsw #arcad #kudos #oliverpike

Annabel Scanlen Annie Areum Shin Fei Gao Jessie Nok Wai Hui Jodie Sim Karan Singh Shekhawat Natalie Quan Yau Tso My brain but not my brain is a group exhibition that explores how our subconscious selves are more honest than our conscious selves. Meandering through spheres of dreamscapes, trauma-processing and object or material embodiments, we explore our identities and truths based on what we are not thinking rather than what we know. The collection of works by Annabel Scanlen, Annie Areum Shin, Fei Gao, Jessie Nok Wai Hui, Jodie Sim, Karan Singh Shekhawat and Natalie Quan Yau Tso acknowledges the hidden brain as the start of true self-understanding.

04.01.2022 Annabel Scanlen featured in our current exhibition My brain but not my brain, is here to take over our instagram today and give you some behind the scenes insight into her work. Annabel is a Sydney based artist whose practice involves extensive experimentation with tactile mediums. Scanlens process often begins on paper, through sketching and illustration, then expands to three dimensional forms, through use of textile, cement, plaster and clay. This can be seen through her sculptural series Thing. Scanlens theoretical practice interrogates notions of Thing Power, taking specific inspiration from Jane Bennetts approach to Thing and its value.

03.01.2022 For our first My Brain but not my brain takeover we have Natalie Tso. Natalie is a Hong Kong-Australian artist working on Cammeraygal land. She creates sculptures and self-performances to remember, examine and transmute trauma. Her creative process prioritises bodily memories and sensations. She works with hair, facemasks, threads and clay to translate bodily shock into materiality, re-bodies these materials and reconfigures each performances residues to complete sculptur...es. Tsos art and love practice are two threads that coalesce to mend trauma in order to decolonise internally. This journey alchemises buried trauma to cultivate resilience against fear. Since encounters of pain between objects solidify the boundaries of our skin, art about suffering reshapes intimate and political relationships. Her narratives of injury become political warfare as her healing body, self and artworks redefine healing bodies around her.

02.01.2022 Hey friends! Over the next two weeks we have an instagram takeover by the artists featured in our current exhibition My brain but not my brain! Tune into our feed to see some behind the scenes insights into their practices and more about the exhibition. Beginning our takeovers will be artist Natalie Tso @nataliequanyautso @nataliequanyautso ... @jodie_sim @annies @2ka7ran @Annabel_scanlen @jsieeeee_hui @feithebeast See more
